Seattle dethrones Denver as the worst city to find love, Great Love Debate says

Denver is no longer the worst place to find love. It’s the fourth-worst.

The Great Love Debate, a nationally touring show and podcast that stops in Denver regularly, has named Seattle “America’s Worst City To Find Love” for 2018. Seattle singles earned low marks across the board for their lack of communication, confidence and optimism, the release said.

Good for you, Seattle. But Denver had that title first. So take that.

In 2017, The Great Love Debate named little ol’ Denver as the worst city to find love. Why? Here is the explaination from 2017:

They say the saddest thing is wasted talent. Friendly, beautiful women, great weather, plenty to do — and home to the most passive men in America. The Mile High City social scene resembles an awkward school dance — women standing in a pack in the middle, flannel-wearing bros on the outside sippin’ their beers and stroking their beards.

That’s one title the Mile High City won’t be sad to shed. Denver has graduated to the fourth-worst and, though it still houses “the most passive men in America,” the release said, ”an extremely communicative and accommodating group of women kept the Mile High City out of the basement this year.”

GLD told The Denver Post that they used four main factors from audience feedback at live events, surveys, city demographics and more:

1. Enthusiasm about dating
2. Opportunities for dating
3. Frequency of dates
4. Dates turning into relationships

Ah, yes, now it’s starting to sound familiar, isn’t it?

Other terrible cities include San Jose for ”a sorry stalemate between women who think they’re too good for him and men who think they’re entitled to her”; Phoenix, with ”go ahead guys, offer to take her on a date. She will take that offer and shop it around till she can find a better one” (whatever that means); and Portland, because ”trying to be the center of the Beard & Beer Universe is never a good way to show you actually care about dating.”

So, yeah, good luck out there. You’ll need it.
